Gamers, it’s happening — Valorant Mobile just got its own App Store page in China, and the tentative release date is circled for November 25, 2025. The listing doesn’t guarantee a firm launch date (Apple only allows pre-orders up to 180 days ahead), so there’s still some wiggle room, but it’s safe to say we’re getting close.
The surprise? It’s not just Chinese that’s supported — English is also listed as a language option. That small detail has fans buzzing. Why? It could mean a staggered release strategy: China first, then possibly English-speaking regions like Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau, with the rest of Southeast Asia next in line. Eventually, it looks like Riot and Tencent are aiming for a full global rollout — a pattern we’ve seen before with other big-name mobile titles coming out of East Asia.
And clearly, the hype is real. Valorant Mobile has shot straight to the #1 spot among the most anticipated mobile games on China’s 3839 gaming platform. Right behind it? Another Tencent project called The Hidden Ones. Tencent really knows how to keep the hype train moving.
If you’ve been waiting for a solid tactical shooter on your phone that doesn’t feel watered down — this might be it. I mean, who hasn’t wanted to pull off a crisp one-tap in the middle of their daily commute?
So what do you think? Are you planning to dive into Valorant Mobile when it drops? Let’s talk in the comments — especially if you’re curious how the mobile version stacks up against the original.
